I did not enjoy my teenage years.
This puts me, in my opinion, in the majority of 99% of people who hated their teenage years.
Only old people think it's fun to be a teenager, okay?
I mean, you look good, it's true.
If you look at pictures of yourself, you think, even if you thought you were just a very ordinary looking person, you look at a picture of yourself and you're like, I was beautiful, you know?
Like, why wasn't I a movie star?
Why was I a junior in high school?
But I hated most of my teenage years.
First of all, algebra.
That's when you got algebra, which is something so horrible to me that once, I think it was in ninth grade that you had algebra, that the first time, I took algebra one three times.
I had to take it in summer school.
I'd take it over and over again.
I never could pass it.
I've never been asked an algebra question.
I thought, what were they preparing me for?
What were they torturing me over this?
Like, I don't know what it is.
I couldn't pass it.
No, I mean, I can't remember how old I was.
